As is the case every year, 2019 will also see innovations in the world of technology that will surprise us. Among the companies that will bring new products, Sony is expected to be one of those that will stand out, releasing a new concept in the field of smartphone.
According to a report by LetsGoDigital, a patent filed by Sony with the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) suggests that the Japanese company could launch a smartphone with transparent displays.
The device is speculated to be foldable, with dual displays (one on the front and one on the back). Both displays are expected to come with six modes (three each) – transparent, translucent, and opaque, which users will be able to select accordingly.
How does this technology work?
Both displays will feature self-illuminating pixels (arranged in a matrix setup) that include a light control element. This element will be responsible for controlling the amount of light emitted, and the light will vary, resulting in a transparent display.
Furthermore, the report suggests that the new transparent display concept could be used for a foldable as well as a rollable smartphone, with screen numbers ranging from four to six.
However, there is no certainty as to whether this new transparent display concept will eventually be released for consumers or not.
